Operation Urgent Fury 25 October 1983

Thirty-one years ago I was a student in the mountain phase of US Army Ranger School. Waiting by an LZ for Blackhawks to come pick us up for more fun Ranger stuff, we asked the RI (Ranger Instructor) what was new in the world.

"Well", he said, "this morning Rangers jumped into Grenada. How many of you are Second Lieutenants?" I and a few others raised our hand. "They're dying over there and they're gonna need more - so you better pay attention".

The New American Veteran

A veteran leaving the military today faces tremendous obstacles, but also possesses amazing skills. GallantFew specializes in connecting veterans that are successful in civilian life with new veterans leaving active duty. This mentoring relationship builds their social network, aids professional development and provides emotional support.

A non-veteran just doesn't get how to communicate and work with a veteran like another veteran does. If you are interested in being a mentor, stop by www.gallantfew.org and sign up!
